SSO Integration
Introduction
As part of its solution, Global-e supports single sign-on with SAML web authentication.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (SP).
SAML is mostly used as a secured web-based authentication mechanism as it relies on using the browser agent to broker the authentication flow. Global-e plays the role of Service Provider and implements the ServiceProvider-initiated SSO SAML flow.
For more info on SAML, see: https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/saml/
This document targets the Merchant’s IT personnel or Integrator in charge of performing the SSO integration between the Merchant IdP system and Global-e Merchant Portal.
Note
The end-user (or user) represents the designated Merchant personnel with permission to use the Global‑e Merchant Portal. This could be, for example, a Merchant Admin, Store User, Store Admin, and more.
